Boudoir + Portraits +
Kick-ass Weddings
hey, I'm Sam!
Two things I love: when a fellow artist asks me to shoot their portrait session, and boudoir maternity photo shoots.
We know I love a Chelan wedding. It somehow feels like a vacation even though I’m working while there. And being at Larc Hill wedding venue brings together so many great aspects. Rustic barn, the vines you want for a winery wedding, and sparkling blue waters in the distance. Another perk to getting married in […]
I love seeing clients come back year after year as their family grows. Family sessions can bring up a lot of complicated emotions, but they are also so fun. Part of the success to them is letting your family be themselves. If your kids are grumpy, we’ll just work with that. I’m a mom, I […]
We all know that feeling of prepping for something big, feeling the anticipation in your stomach, a cross between nerves and excitement. This guide is meant to help you feel calm the closer you get so that you can focus on the enjoyment. I’m going to go over what it could look like to prep […]
FInding the perfect New Year’s Eve Outfit shouldn’t be difficult, and that’s why I shop small at my favorite local store, Moxie Boutique.
This was the first time I got to shoot a Manor House wedding and it has become one of my favorite venues. Located on Bainbridge Island at Pleasant Beach Village, you get views of the sound through the trees, and amazing architecture. Manor House is a 1920’s Tudor style house that offers amazing sunsets when […]
I’m all about the intimate and moody Lake Crescent engagement pictures, and these two got the perfect foggy day. There is something so specific about the Pacific Northwest, especially the Olympic Peninsula near Port Angeles—is there anywhere else you could get this view? Tepid lake, evergreen trees stretching into the distance, fog swathing the hills. […]
Fall colors, golden light, leaf fights… what more could I ask for in an engagement session? I’m so excited to be working with my FAVORITE wedding planners Bixby+Pine for this wedding in October at Marionfield Farm and when Courtney was describing the colors and vibe she wanted for her day I knew these two were […]
O’Shanna and Hayden joined me at this Christmas tree farm for their engagement session on the perfect day in December. And by perfect in western Washington I just mean that it wasn’t raining… or at least we hit the window in the day where the rain had stopped. We’re entering that time of year where […]
Andy + Wuen made my job easy. Let’s start with a little bit about them: They lead worship together and music is BIG part of their relationship. These two are kind and sweet, and really stylish. Andy used to work in the women’s shoe department of Nordies, and I secretly wanted him to be my personal shopper and help re-do my entire wardrobe. Accepting applications now, BTW.
